All of them. You know what? It's a fucking VIDEO ipod. Scratches ARE a big deal. Even more so on a small screen. Most everYone here would shit a brick to get a laptop with a dead pixel. The fact is, there is something wrong with the screens. Based on my experience, Apple treats consumers like shit. People know who have experienced this know this. Why waste time trying to reason? I swear most Apple customers act like co-dependants. They get the shit kicked out of them and happily, gladly come back for more.
Think about it, what if this were a Microsoft product. The reaction would be unquestionably different.
LOFL. The indignation of you all! The humanity!! Apple users being so offended at the implication that you may be biased because you use Apple products. Has there ever been a group of people so collectively biased and zealous as Apple users? Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just that every argument you make and the outrage you show just proves this point. Too effing funny.
I cannot believe nobody has mentoned this, but my wife has never once returned a movie on time. The late fee savings alone are worth it. That and the efficiency make it irresistible. The shipping time seems t obe a key factor as well. I am one day from a distribution center.
Well said. Everyone is guessing 'why'. I think you nailed it. Your experience is exactly what mine was. I could not get over price of the RAM upgrade and left the site - twice. Classic price gouging IMHO. I cannot figure out why more people were not upset about this.
Guess what asswipe, if Mt St Helens were in New Jersey it would be the greatest polluter in that state as well.
lol, looks like your sarcasm made you look VERY stupid.
"wearing one around your neck identifies you as one of the techno-congniscenti, especially if you personalize it with stickers"
That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. Flat out depressing.
Whould be "top 25 stories nobody give a shit about". These stories are patently NOT censored. This implies there is some conspiracy that is keeping them from being published. Lat I looked this was infomation available to anyone. Maybe it has to do with the content not being totally reliable?
Honestly, I am getting sick and tired of the shrill conspiracy rhetoric.
I am so disappointed in you people that this has not been mentioned yet.
All you need to know is Howard (the Duck) actually uses his little ducky prophylactic to do Leah Thompson.
Unfrcikinbelievable.
Cmon, do you know everything about your cars engine? No? Then go facking educate yourself. If you take the car into the dealership and they screw you over is it your fault if they take advantage of your lack of knowledge?
I say no, they have an obligation to 'do the right thing'. Imagine that.
Perfect policy? lol. The "only you can prevent forest fires" has really kept forest fires down, hasn't it? I think not.
No offense, but your understanding of human nature seems rather naive.
AMMENDMENT TO RULE #1: Never drop the F-bomp if you plan to buy or return anything. If not, use as necessary.
I get sick of rude sales people that get 'offended' when you know darn good and well they use the word 20 times a day. The poster is right, once you use it you are SOL.
They need new revenue streams, that is what has changed. If you can't fine new ones, then create them. I believe we have term for that - extortion. As someone has already mentioned.
You're completely, utterly missing the point. The fact is they changed the DRM for songs you ARLEADY own. Whether it is a good or bad change is not the issue.
Exactly. Apple made a big mistake by not going the flash route. The market for the regular iPod and the mini is exactly the same. The market for those that want a flash player and HD are completely different. If Apple would have come out with a flash player offering much like iRiver they would have absolutely killed the competition. I would have waited in line for days for one of these players. I was sooooo disappointed when I discovered that the mini was HD based for $250.
Half of these replies are bullsh!t. Your AOL type crowd would find this article very informative. I cannot tell you how many home stereo systems I have "fixed"by redoing the cables. Most people spend good money on a 5.1 system with a DVD player and have no clue as to how important proper hookup is in general, and the correct cables in particular are. Once properly hooked up even they can see and hear a huge difference. Anyone that says cables are not important is just ignorant.

Whatever. I'm sure the French don't "fuck around on the internet, paying bills, etc.". Just Americans. Nice logic dude.
and stuff that doesn't really matter.

To furthur your stupid little analogy, you still pick up the fucking laundry dont you? Or do you go the the surgery naked?

Sorry dude, but is there any phrase more wankerish than that? Sexy? As hell? :)

Cmon, we're talking apple right? Have you seen how much the iPod accessories cost? Or ANY Apple products? Sheesh.

You seem to seriously think this. I hope you are kidding.
